Update on Housing Recovery

My mother called Samaritan's Purse , 828-262-1980, to ask what they are doing to help Rita victims. They sent a group to the Christian Life Community Church, 1401 Merriman, Port Neches TX 77651. The person at the Samaritan's Purse headquarters said if someone would go talk to the people in Port Neches, perhaps they could help. There is no plan right now to send a group to Cameron Parish.

My mother also called Rebuilding Together in Calcasieu Parish, 318-625-4663, and the phone was not working.

Another promising organization is DERA, phone 970-532-3362 & fax 970-532-2979. My mother called and got a message telling her to send an email. We have not sent an email yet.

Until the Cameron Parish Police Jury announces final "look and leave" and cleanup dates for the parish, we are leery of pursuing these organizations further to ask for help. But anyone else is welcome to give it a whirl!
